Hi All
Felt it was all very
well organised and liked the structure of a booklet. It might have been useful
to send the booklet to the host groups in advance if it were available, in
order to highlight the thinking behind the residential etc. and to focus our discussions,
consistent with the TIA residential etc.
Given the shortage
of time, I would have liked presentations from Palestinian teachers that were
balanced in favour of the effects of occupation as opposed to
the facts of occupation and an understanding of how education
has to accommodate to but also challenge the occupation (I wonder if there
might be some other way of UK side presenting what we think we know about the
occupation, since recognition is so important).
I am torn between
thinking that all the activities were worthwhile, and wondering if the teachers
had been able to spend more time with their twinning partners, whether deeper
and more fruitful relationships would have been possible and enabled more space
for acclimatisation/reflection/enjoyment. My fear is that they return from such
a whirlwind for a rest and back-to-normal. I just hope the continuity is
maintained.
THANKS TO CADFA FOR
ALL THE HARD WORK
Jane
